That is all wrong. There is no such

take place. The people are not moving

office is as near as any place can well be to
the place OF confinement, and if bomb

men attended him to the door ofhis box and

the other fads of the New York Angloma-
MACS. He is not man who ever went
amcug the men generally. and he preferred
a cotilion to a dinner. 1t was generally
supposed that his wealth was limitless.

NASHUA, FLA, April >, 1887.
This quiet little river town, on the east
bank of the majestic st. Johns, sits
proudly upon the highest elevation of
land, it is claimed, between Jacksonville
and Sanford. The eye of the tourist or
traveller, as he steams southwark over
the broad and placid bosom of the river,
cannot fail to note, with quick percep-
tion the marked and extreme altitude of
the beautiful east bank of the St. Johns
ut the several Nashua landings. There
are no more charming and picturesque
situations to attract the eye of the lover
of the beautiful, than are to he found
upon these high lands but a few hundred
feet back from the river, where, after
the summit is reached. the lands stretch
away eastward. beautifully rolling and
undulating for many miles.
There are three wharves properly be
longing to Nashua: Rogers wharf. Elan
lers' wharf and Roots wharf: the first
named being the most central and con-
venient, il lis said. Freight for Nashua
has to be- marked To the particular land

At Mill Grove, Ind. lives John Suider.
the w alklng Man" In 1851 he felt muscu-
lar and nervous exhaustion a strange rest
lessness, general Gneasiness and the only
relief he could get was oy constant walking.
For twenty eight months he has tr.ani,Ied in
clrcle around and s-round L,s house rest
ing only Tour hours each day. and il is esti-
mated ne mas covered moro space than the
circumference of the globe. He has at
tracted universal attention. been visited
Dy hundreds of curiosity seekers, and
has really become public character. His
nervousness has shown itself in walking;
other peoples nervousness acts in other
ways Sometimes the person is rest
less, trembles, has nervous head
aches, a sinking at the pit Of the stomach,
q loss of appetite inability to sleep, fore
holdings, and general exhaustion. At other
VINES irrltabllty- peevlshness and fault
finding are felt and life is u fearful
trial When these things come on some
thing must be done, or this nervousness
will lead to insomnia. insanity, or death.
Many people take morphine, opium, or mar
cotics; but they only deaden the nerves for
the time being. What people need is to as
sit Nature a little. and Nature itself will
restore the nerve-tissue and bring health
and strength. The best researches of
modern scientists have proven that there
is nothing for this purpose equal to pure
spirits, and no spirits so reliable and valu-
able as Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. An
authority on Tins subject, being no less than
the well-known DIR. Caldwell, who treats
only nervous diseases, says:
In typhoid and nervous exhaustion know of
no remedy TO approach or equal Duify's Pure
Malt Whiskey to bridge over crisis mend
the broken cup Of health In an emergency OF
immediate danger. This may be said of alcohol
in general, were il not the fact that many OF our
WHISTLES are sophisticated. These impurities

absent, thus affording pure and safe stimulant,
